What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

1. Is it "Talk like a Pirate Day" already? Arr Arr.2. This is actually a tasteful way to celebrate someone's tubal ligation -- they cut the tube.3. I would have expected the cake for "Pirate Space Palooza" to be a lot less dull.4. When Vicki had herself cloned, she was surprised each of the clones had a different personality. Thursday Vicki was always the happiest, while Monday Vicki was a rather sullen witch.

Okay, that pirate space palooza cake is just ugly--writing issues aside. Why a large flat swath of brown with no other decoration than a bright red border? Is this supposed to be the pirate ship deck...?

I was watching Inside West Coast Customs this weekend and they made carts for Nintendo from Mario Cart7. I spent the entire hour trying to remember who I know who talks about that game- I read this and remembered! Enjoy this clip

Oh boy. And now I know why I won't order a cake for my birthday this year lol. Although Viki's cake is rather nice if you ignore the Happy Thursday. Unless for her Thursday is her day off. Could be her last day at work too lol. Some days I just thank my lucky stars none of these are for me.

It's unrelated but I have to share because that last bit reminds me of a trip I had to a major coffee chain that shall remain nameless but does not use two R's in its name. I used their drive-up and the following conversation ensued:

Me: I'd like a grande banana mocha.Worker-bee: Is that a peppermint mocha?Me: No, a banana mocha.Worker-bee: So that's a banana peppermint mocha?Me: (WTF?) No peppermint!Worker-bee: Sorry, ma'am, we only have bananas for frappucinos.Me: I'll take a white mocha...
